Lyrics

Crackin' Up

[Verse 1]

You're always hollerin' 'bout where I've been

You're always screaming 'bout the money I spend

[Chorus]

Quit bugging me

Yeah, yeah, he's cracking up

Yeah, yeah, he's cracking up

[Verse 2]

I do your laundry and your cooking too

Well, what more, woman, can a man like me do?

[Chorus]

You're bugging me

Yeah, yeah, he's cracking up

Yeah, yeah, he's cracking up

[Organ Solo]

[Verse 1]

You're always hollering 'bout where I've been

You're always screaming 'bout the money I spend

[Chorus]

Quit bugging me

Yeah, yeah, he's cracking up

Yeah, yeah, he's cracking up

Yeah, whoa

[Verse 3]

I spoiled you woman a long time ago

I used to cook your meals and bring 'em to your door

[Chorus]

I'm all fed up

Yeah, yeah, he's cracking up

Quit bugging me

Yeah, yeah, he's cracking up

Yeah, yeah, he's cracking up

Yeah, yeah, he's cracking up

He's cracking up

He's cracking up

He's cracking up

He's cracking up
